krusty Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 We all already know the answer.It seams if something has a cash value , even if it is "bolted down" , thieves will take it.Read this sad item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOther Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I was going to say that words fail me but tragically this sort of thing is an all too common reflection on the morally bankrupt society that UK has become.Equally sadly Fredrick is probably not far out in terms of the punishment likely to be meted out to the scum who did this if ever caught, but it is almost certain they never will be.If they were apprehended and it were up to me to decide their fate they would face a choice - a televised public flogging followed by a full 10 years in prison - or the front line in Afghanistan or Iraq for the duration.Verily the blood in my veins doth boil [:'(] [:@] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegwini Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Mine boiling too Ernie!My paternal grandfather was in the Lancashire Fusiliers & was killed within weeks of the landing in 1915 at Galipoli. This regiment lost so many troops in WWI. And, NO benefits then. His widow was left with 8 children, my father was the youngest and only 2 years old, so life for them was really hard, and the Great Depression soon followed WWI and life got even harder.But, it does not surprise me - seen it all as a teacher when so many kids these days think they are entitled to so much, and expect to have their 'rights', and are encouraged in all this by this useless government. I second your comments on a suitable punishment Ernie. And, I do wonder who might have taken the plaques since they have been there safely for decades, and now have been stolen. Is it possible that someone with a grudge, and not understanding, or caring about the impact of this theft, someone who might perhaps have no connection whatsoever, or loyalty to the UK may be guilty ?Tegwini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Absolutely unspeakable.I can only hope that when the scum who did this try to sell it for scrap they are shopped by someone with a few scruples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 That has actually happened, apparently. With luck in this case.At our local cenotaph someone stole the flagstones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
